Australia's Trusted Local & State Government Recruitment Specialists
Finding the right person for a specialised government role isn't something that happens through a generic job board and a database search. It takes deep knowledge of the sector, established networks of genuinely skilled candidates and a consultant who understands what public sector clients actually need - not just what's written in a position description.
MCJ Appointments has been doing exactly that for over two decades. We are a specialist recruitment agency based in Parramatta, NSW, focused exclusively on placing professional, engineering, technical and administrative talent across local councils and state government departments.
As an approved supplier on the NSW Government Contingent Workforce Scheme (SCM0007), the Local Government Procurement panel (LGP Contract T808.4) and Comensura, we operate within the compliance frameworks your organisation requires and we understand the pace, process and people standards the public sector demands.
Whether you need to fill a critical engineering vacancy at short notice, source a contracts administrator for a long-term project, or build out a team of technical specialists for a major infrastructure programme, MCJ Appointments delivers.
Why Government & Council Clients Choose MCJ Appointments
MCJ Appointments has spent years building direct, trusted relationships with councils and state agencies across the state - not chasing volume, but consistently delivering quality.
